Painter1 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm hoping to make some different plastics in the same color as the Keitech rainbow Shad. Does anyone have a recipe? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Hmm... hard to tell without a sample in my hand. I have learned this about Keitech baits, a lot of them have salt and interestingly enough an additive akin to Berkley's Powerbait that can throw the colors making weird shades that aren't all that easy to match with a single colorant. That "powerbait mimic" will give that shad bait the brownish looking back ( I suspect it is not in the belly portion of this bait, only in the top half). You will have to mix some black and brown colorant at some ratio to match it; a dark brown smoke if you will. Also looks like they are using some Sparkle Violet and Sparkle Green Glitter to get the "rainbow" in something like 0.015" Hex along with some small black flake. A large particle pearl white would look good in the belly, like Sparkle Pearl; I cant tell if they are using a hi-lite pearl there but it wouldn't make sense to do so. Add salt if desired. Again this is based off of a picture from their website and just my WAG based on experience. Edited April 18, 2016 by McLuvin175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
